IMPROVEMENT IN STATIONARY WASH-BASINS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 125,365, dated April 2,1872.

To whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS S. WHITE, of Grand Haven, in the county ofOttawa and State of Michigan have invented a new and drawing and to theletters of reference marked thereon and being a part of thisspecification, in which my invention is shown in perspective andattached to a stationary basin.

The nature of this invention relates to an improved arrangement foremptying the basin of water whenever desired. The invention consists inattaching a pipe to the overflowpipe, the former receiving the directdischarge from the bottom of the basin, and beingprovided with a properstop-cock or "alve, operated by a suitable rod projecting above thebasinstand,'as more fully hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawing, A represents a basinattached to thestationary stand B. The overflow-pipe usually employed is marked 0, andhas its lower end connected with the Wastepipe D. In basins of thisdescription a stopper is ordinarily employed to close an apertureopening into the waste-pipe, and this stopper is generally secured tothe basin by a chain, which frequently becomes broken. When this occursthe person using the basin is compelled to plunge his hand into theWater in the basin to remove the stopper. To avoid this necessity I puta cook or valve, E, into the wastepipe, and operate it by means of a rodand handle, F, projecting above the stand, as shown. This cock should beput in between the basin and the junction of the overflow-pipe, asshown.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to.

secure by Letters Patent, is-- In combination, with the basin A, thewastepipe D, the overflow-pipe (J, the valve E, and rod F, allconstructed, arranged, and operated substantially as described andshown.
